Hey, everyone!
I need some help from those of you who own Sonnar 85mm f/2.8 (the version that was made in Germany, not Japan). I noticed that aperture ring on mine is a little stiff and kind of disbalanced. It takes a little more force to move it from one position to another when compared to other MM lenses I have (but all of them are made in Japan). The "click" when moving it is also a little louder. I would think it could be a ball bearing lubrication, or perhaps it got misplaced in its track or something. In any case, it doesn't "feel" as other lenses. Which brings my question - did any of you notice the same thing or not? And if yes, and it's a fixable problem - how much would it cost approximately? (I'm located in California)
I simply need to be "armed" with some info before I call Kyocera in NJ, since getting to them is a real pain in the butt...
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
